Iris Apfel Speaks to Hong Kong Tatler

The one-and-only Iris Apfel arrived in Hong Kong for the very first time last week (May 10) to launch her fashion exhibition at Landmark and share her pearls of wisdom at an open forum panel discussion and several VIP events. We caught up with the 95-year-old fashion icon and self-described 'geriatric starlet' at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental Apartment Suite, where she shared with us the origins of her iconic, oversized spectacles and her philosophy on fashion. In celebration of Hong Kong Tatler's 40th anniversary, Apfel also gave us her fashion commentary on some of the wackiest shots from our archives—from rock chic qipaos to '80s parachute pants, nothing was off limits.
